Have I Got A Story for YOU! 
Addy I love this, you have done an outstanding job on it, love the color you have placed and those mix match chairs are super cute, wonderful idea! Great Creation, Rec’d!
Thank YOU! ♥
Your comments brought a smile to my face, thank you dear friend!!
So beautiful and complete! ♥ It offers much for sims to enjoy and improve their skills. The garden looks very cheerful with all those colored flowers ♥
Thank YOU! ♥
Your comment makes me happy, thank you dear friend!
im glad you figured out a way to use my shell i wish i could download it but i dont have the ambitions ep
Thank you again for letting me do this, it was fun. I think I used that pack for the laundry requirement but not sure if I used anything else from it. I’m sure you already know this but if you download and don’t own something, the game replaces it … can be mighty humorous at times. LOL
I might use this for my 100 baby challenge if you only used the washer and dryer because I can replace the washer and dryer with the one from University yesterday I tried to find a nice house for my legacy challenge but almost everything on the exchange used ambitions and if tried to download any of the houses there was refrigerators in the bathrooms
The following items are from ambitions:
Exterior siding
Exterior sign
Workshop door
Workshop window
Workshop inventing bench
Workshop sculpting station
Workshop wall tools & hose
Portable Gnubb set
Laundry counter
Washer & Dryer
Laundry accessories
Hamper
Walk-In Closet clothing rack
Bedroom makeup case
Bedroom mirror
Bedroom chair
Bedroom curtain
Ceiling Lights
Floor Light
Kitchen paper towel & soap
Family Room chair
Family Room loveseat
Dining china cabinet
A&C Room shelf
A&C Room drafting table & stool
A&C room mannequin
A&C Room case board
Living Room locker
Sorry! It’s a lot more than I thought. Will send you a pm.
Yay for finishing it on time! I forgot about the play gnubb game. It’s a great house for a family with lots of kids. You could do a 100 baby challenge here. Beautiful house!
Thank YOU! ♥
I agree it is. It’s funny that you mention that … a friend is interested in using it for her 100 Baby Challenge.
This creation is so beautiful – beautiful, All around from the inside, to the wonderful play ground and landscaping!
I love that you brought the 2 challenges together !
” WOW ” !!
( Standing ovation )
Thank YOU! ♥
Oh my … your kind words have brought a smile to my face and a blush to my cheeks (one of the joys of being a red-head!). BIG Hugs!!
Very, VERY nice Addy! It would be wonderful for a legacy also. I could change one of the nurseries to a children’s room. Perfect!
Thank YOU! ♥
I agree, this would work well for a legacy game. Changing one room into a children’s room with bunk beds plus a single bed would be easy enough to do! Enjoy 😀
These are some really nice colors. I like the outside color and the garden looks amazing. It seems like there is a theme going for the inside room colors as well, very well done.
Thank you! Yes, there was … good job catching that.
